Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Entering the Star Element Tower
Beep beep~
Walking on the way to the classroom, the smart bracelet vibrated twice.
Qin Tian opened the app in the background, and his eyes lit up instantly.
The academic credits for completing the task were credited, and there was an extra 500, totaling 3500 credits.
"Sent mistakenly or extra reward?"
Qin Tian blinked and didn’t dwell on it too much. Extra credits are a good thing, and he wouldn’t proactively ask about it.
With the credits in hand, he could now enter the Star Element Tower for cultivation.
Walking into the classroom, the originally noisy sound stopped abruptly, and all the students in the Special Warfare Squad looked at him with various emotions such as surprise, curiosity, and respect.
Qin Tian approached the third-to-last row, preparing to sit in the inner position. At this moment, Huang Mao, who was next to the aisle, immediately stood up, bent down, and respectfully said:
"Brother Tian, please go inside."
Qin Tian glanced at Huang Mao, remembering that this kid didn’t like him much before, secretly complaining that he acted cool, but even though the voice was small, it couldn’t escape his ears.
"Thank you."
Qin Tian nodded.
Upon hearing this, Huang Mao’s face beamed with a bright smile.
Why hadn’t he noticed before that the great Qin Tian was so courteous?
As a core member of a bloodline family, he could wipe out a Tier Five Vampire Star Thieves’ group effortlessly, and yet he was in a class with ordinary second-generation rich kids without bullying or looking down on anyone.
See, this is the upbringing of a great family.
After Qin Tian sat down, he realized that most of the eyes were still fixed on him. He immediately understood that his vampire-killing story must have spread.
Being stared at by so many people made him feel a bit uncomfortable, but luckily, the teacher entered the classroom within two minutes.
The teacher scanned the room and paused on Qin Tian for two seconds before speaking:
"Today, I will continue to explain the key points of urban special operations."
Qin Tian listened attentively, but many classmates in the class seemed distracted, sneaking glances at him as if observing a rare creature.
The class lasted three hours, with a ten-minute break.
During this time, Qin Tian glanced at the classroom; Xiaopang and Xiong Gang were not present, and Huang Xiaojia sat in the second row, surrounded by girls, chatting non-stop.
Qin Tian listened briefly. They were basically asking about Huang Xiaojia’s stories at Twilight Ridge.
Ding~~
The bell rang, and Qin Tian left the classroom to have a meal at the cafeteria.
After eating, he would head to the Star Element Tower to start his Spiritual Energy cultivation.
While walking, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
"Brother Tian, wait a moment."
Qin Tian turned around and saw Huang Xiaojia running towards him, her face flushed.
"What’s the matter?" Qin Tian asked.
Huang Xiaojia pursed her lips, gathered courage, and said:
"Brother Tian, Xiaopang, Da Xiong, and I want to invite you to dinner this weekend to thank you for taking care of us."
The care was actually an understatement, accurate to say that it was a life-saving favor.
Without Qin Tian, the three of them might not even have encountered the vampires before being torn apart by the Black Fierce Ape.
Later, Qin Tian fought the vampires to save them and got someone to rescue everyone from Wen Chengxian.
Just today, they benefited from Qin Tian again, with each person receiving 500 credits.
Qin Tian’s attention and help have been too much, and after discussing, the three wanted to repay Qin Tian with practical actions.
"No need for the dinner, you three should first take care of your health,"
Qin Tian politely declined. Huang Xiaojia had no injuries, but the other two boys had suffered a lot, with one having a swollen face and the other with broken ribs. He wasn’t sure of the medical level in this world, but at least a few days of rest was needed.
Moreover, recently he planned to focus on cultivating Spiritual Energy and Swordsmanship, and explore the potential of Night Demon and Purple Sky Thunder Body, leaving no time to dine with the three.
After saying this, Qin Tian nodded and walked towards the cafeteria.
Seeing Qin Tian refuse, Huang Xiaojia stood in place disheartened and mumbled softly:
"But Xiaopang already bought 100 Spirit Essence Pills to give to you."
Pa~
Not far away, Qin Tian’s footsteps suddenly paused.
His upper body remained still, yet his legs seemed like they were moonwalking, smoothly retreating to Huang Xiaojia’s side, coughing twice, and said:
"Which restaurant?"
Huang Xiaojia hesitated for a moment, then a smile emerged on her face, and she said with a clear voice:
"Sunday evening, outside the island, at Junhao Restaurant."
"Okay."
Qin Tian nodded and walked away.
Huang Xiaojia felt as though Qin Tian’s steps seemed lighter, perhaps it was an illusion.
......
"100 Spirit Essence Pills, this Xiaopang sure has a generous hand."
Qin Tian’s lips curled into a slight smile.
Don’t underestimate Spirit Essence Pills as a supplementary elixir, their price is quite high.
In the military, due to the high consumption of elixir resources, Spirit Essence Pills have a certain premium, 100 Military Merit Points per pill.
In the market, one Spirit Essence Pill costs upward of tens of thousands.
After all, Spirit Essence Pills can directly increase Spirit Energy absorption efficiency several times without side effects, making them the best suited for basic cultivation.
Many wealthy individuals, bloodline families, schools, and the military are all scrambling to hoard Spirit Essence Pills, keeping them in a state of demand exceeding supply, with prices remaining high.
Spirit Essence Pills could sustain him for over three months of cultivation.
Gotta say, this little fatty hit him right where it mattered most, making skipping this meal impossible.
Upon entering the cafeteria, Qin Tian got his meal and sat down.
He’d barely taken a few bites before noticing many people secretly eyeing him, whispering.
"That’s Qin Tian, the expert who wiped out the vampire Star Thieves’ group."
"Very handsome indeed, but seems cold and not easy to approach."
"He’s a bloodline family member, with excellent background and strong skills, some aloofness is quite normal."
Bloodline family member?
Excellent background?
Strong background?
Qin Tian was taken aback, almost doubting his ears.
Am I really this extraordinary, and I didn’t even know?
Seeing more and more people staring at him, Qin Tian quickly finished his meal and headed straight to the Star Element Tower.
In the scorching sun, the nine-story tower stood tall and majestic.
Walking into the Star Element Tower, an elderly man with gray hair lazily lay on a chair reading a book at the entrance.
Seeing Qin Tian enter, the old man didn’t even put down his book and said nonchalantly:
"Register yourself with the card for whichever floor you go."
Qin Tian, having learned the Star Element Tower entry process through the campus network, nodded and operated on the nearby instrument.
Entered the student number, selected the Cultivation Room, and clicked confirm.
Soon, a black card was ejected from the instrument.
Qin Tian took the card and headed straight to the third floor of the Star Element Tower.
The Star Element Tower has nine floors, with increasing Spiritual Qi density as you ascend, but for an individual, higher Spiritual Qi density does not necessarily mean better cultivation results.
According to school advice, Spiritualists below Tier Two are not recommended to go beyond the fourth floor.
Above the fourth floor, the high-density Spiritual Qi environment could be unsuitable for Spirit Energy absorption.
Tap tap tap~
The steady and crisp sound of footsteps echoed inside the tower.
The old man lay on the chair, flipped a page, and said leisurely:
"Interesting kid."
